Japan Tokyo 2012, holiday itinerary for 7 days



Tokyo is a wonderful place, soooo many places to visit. Put at least a week on Tokyo alone and don't bother to go plan Osaka or Hokkaido into your Tokyo trip. In fact, I would recommend up to 10 days at Tokyo!

Day 1 : Arriving at Haneda airport. Sleep at capsule hotel.

Day 2 : Ueno Park - Ameyoko

Day 3 : Tokyo Sky Tree - Asakusa Sensoji Temple - Sumida River cruise - Odaiba

Day 4 : Enoshima -Kamakura > Shinjuku

Day 5 - DisneySea

Day 6 - We raced many places within Tokyo for that day - thanks to unlimited Metro pass: Tsukiji Fish Market > Tsukishima > Ginza > Hibiya (to watch Bon Odori ceremony) > Shibuya > Roponggi

Day 7 - Hakone > Shinjuku

Day 8 - Harajuku > Yoyogi Park. Fly back to Malaysia in evening.

As you can see, 8 days is not enough. Places like Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ginza and Odaiba - these places we can easily spend a day or two! We have not covered other interesting places such as Disneyland, Kawasaki, Nikko, Akibahara, and many others. Now do you believe me you need 10 days at Tokyo alone?

Australia Sydney-Melbourne travel itinerary for 10 days in year 2013



We decided to go to two cities for this trip. From KL, we fly to Sydney. Then, we fly using Tiger Airways (which was really scary and really sucks!) from Sydney to Melbourne.

SYDNEY travel - we spent 5 days there, mainly in cities area. https://www.facebook.com/hochiomeng/media_set?set=a.10152106411644503.1073741838.771619502&type=1


Video at Sydney http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsdDXCZELeU


Day 1 : Arrival at Sydney, check-in Y Hyde Park Hotel
Day 2 : The Rocks tourist information center; the fantastic Mexican buffet; fun time at Madame Tussauds; dinner and shopping for uniform at China Town; Coles, our discovery for solution to our thirst for freshwater.
Day 3 : A very long scenery walk at beaches - Coogee-Bondi; cold evening at Watson Bay; "The Burgers are better at Hungry Jacks"
Day 4 : Cheesy lobster at Fish Market; Whale Watching buffet + feeding the whale; Pancakes on the Rocks.
Day 5 : Walking across Harbour Bridge; Wildlife Park; disappointing Norton Street: shopping Westfield Bondi Junction; nasty people at King's cross
Day 6 : Fish Market revisit; To airport for unforgettable flight to Melbourne using Tiger Airways - that's gotta be our first and last time using this $#@! airline!

MELBOURNE travel - we spent most of the time on day trips.

1) Great Ocean Road  - https://www.facebook.com/hochiomeng/media_set?set=a.10152145195694503.1073741839.771619502&type=3

This would be our driving route - CBD head to Geelong, first stop definitely the information center to gather information before driving to visit wineries and Geelong statues; spend the night at Apollo Bay; On the next morning (gotta be very early, from Apollo Bay, set off for 12 Apostles, before heading to see wind turbines. But our plan may have to be altered to suit the situation.

2) Phillip Islandhttps://www.facebook.com/hochiomeng/media_set?set=a.10152296993394503.1073741841.771619502&type=3
We took a guided package tour with Go West to Phillip Island to see penguins, which cost A$150. It was a bit expensive, but there doesn't seem to be a better way to travel Phillip Island. Research readings suggest touring Phillip Island using public transport was not recommended. Besides, driving long distance back from Phillip Island back to Melbourne was somewhat risky. 

Anyway, the fabolous tourist guide made our trip quite enjoyable.

3) Melbourne CBD https://www.facebook.com/hochiomeng/media_set?set=a.10152297926819503.1073741842.771619502&type=3
We had a local people to guide us around.

SUGGESTION : You can skip OCT East Tea Stream Valley, that place sucks. May include other more interesting places such as Windows of the World, 欢乐世界, The Minks Russian battleship, Beaches etc. Remember download offline Baidu maps before you go, Android Google Maps have problem with its offline after upgraded to Version 7 onwards?

I would recommend Mafengwo http://www.mafengwo.cn/jd/10198/0-0-0-0-0-1.html for research, apart from the usual Wikitravel and Tripadvisor.
